To deploy the technologies derived from the new centre's program, Prof Floreano can count on the competences of EPFL, ETHZ, the University of Zurich, and IDSIA, which will converge towards the fundamental breakthroughs needed in various areas in robotics. For example, on robots mobility: “until today, robots were mostly equipped with wheels, and adapted to a specific environment. In the NCCR we will develop jumping, flying, swimming, or snake-like motion, allowing our robots to move in cluttered environments, in the forest, among buildings, or in water".
